There are 2 things to consider here: 1. The re-balancing and additional replication of all the data, which you can control/ease by the various knobs present. Ceph version matters to which are relevant/useful. It shouldn't impact things too much, unless your cluster was at the very edge of it's capacity anyway. 2. The little detail that after 1) is done, your cluster will be noticeably slower than before, especially in the latency department. In short, you don't just need to have the disk space to go 3x, but also enough IOPS/bandwidth reserves.
